MRT
mixed feelings. worried, yet missing, yet drawn back, at times questioning, i have been feeling very irritated recently when i take the mrt. esp when i alight at jurong east. i haven't even stepped out of the train, 10 other people come rushing in. or when i'm waiting to get in a train at jurong east, before passengers can get out, all those outside just squeeze their way in. can't they wait??????????????? singaporeans are becoming worse. what DISGUSTING behaviour. can't they just show some patience? my goodness..... grrr....
sometimes sad, wondering why there's no sound, no reply. i'm still concerned.

today was day 2 of 2* canoeing. my arm got burnt on the first day and it still hurts. the scariest part of 2* canoeing is the capsize drills. which means that while we are in our canoes, we have to purposely overturn our canoes and stay in the water upside down, eyes closed, at the same time, remain calm, and perform a series of steps.went for the EFC's youth gathering at covenant. it was a good time of refreshing and commiting ourselves, our friends, churches, Singapore, and the world to the Lord. singing praises to God was awesome. it just warms my heart to see youths lifting God's name on high, prasing our great God. "you are magnificent, eternally, wonderful, glorious Jesus, no one ever will compare to You Jesus"
got back my results through the wonderful "sms NUS to get your results" system... no As, no Cs, just 2 B-es, 1 B+, 2 Bs. as i recalled how i sat for the exam, i seriously thought it would be a total screw up. couldn't do many of the questions for linear algebra and macroecons. theatre studies prac was a disaster. social work and theatre studies papers i just crapped through the essay and guessed the multiple choices. microecons was ok. i think everyone else felt the same way, so due to the bell curve thing, i did ok. thank God for my results....

i hate mosquitoes
imagine having having 5 huge and itchy mosquito bites on your lower right leg (below the knees). it is horrible. a tiny mosquito can cause me so much trouble. this is the 3rd mosquito i have seen in my room within the past 10 days. 1st one dad caught it.
2nd one i tried to kill it 3 times, but it flew away. i ended up sleeping in the living room so as to avoid getting bitten.
today, i was itching all over, so i looked around and i caught a glimpse of the mosquito. after a second, i couldn't see it anymore. so i waited. just when i was about to give up, i saw it flying. "piak" i opened my hands, ha! i saw it on my hand, dead, with my blood. yay! thank God i caught it... it was just a tiny bit of blood, but yet it could cause 5 huge mosquito bites. amazing.
mosquitoes! get lost! this is just one of the effects of this sinful earth. if i hadn't had caught it, i would have either stayed up longer, or went to the living room to sleep and i would have to wake my bro up to go back to his own room to sleep. so troublesome!

2 Tell U e truth
went for a personnel and ct std camp. it was a time of refreshing and thinking through my motivation for being in youth evangelism. boss was able to accurately identify the thinking of personnels and to address it. from what he said, there were a few main points i caught. 1. are our lives fully consecrated to the Lord? 2. do we have motivation and momentum in ministry?. 3. why am i here in youth evangelism?realised that i have not fully given my total life to God. in certain aspects, i still put my own enjoyment above God's rule over my life. i made the commitment to the Lord that i will want to be a Christian student in school. living my life as one. Lord i pray that the light of Christ will shine out of me.
Matthew 5:14,16
You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.... Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your father in heaven.

paid in full
After living what I felt was a "decent" life, my time on earth came to an end. The first thing I remember is sitting on a bench in the waiting room of what I thought to be a courthouse. The doors opened and I was instructed to come in and have a seat by the defense table. As I looked around I saw the "prosecutor." He was a villainous looking gent who snarled as he stared at me. He definitely was the most evil person I have ever seen. I sat down and looked to my left and there sat My Attorney, a kind and gentle looking man whose appearance seemed so familiar to me, I felt I knew Him. The corner door flew open and there appeared the Judge in full flowing robes. He commanded an awesome presence as He moved across the room. I couldn't take my eyes off of Him. As He took His seat behind the bench, He said, "Let us begin."
The prosecutor rose and said, "My name is Satan and I am here to show you why this man belongs in hell." He proceeded to tell of lies I told, things I stole, and in the past when I cheated others. Satan told of other horrible perversions once in my life and the more he spoke, the further down in my seat I sank. I was so embarrassed, I couldn't look at anyone, even my own Attorney, as the Devil told of sins even I completely forgotten about. As upset as I was at Satan fortelling all these things about me, I was equally upset at My Attorney who sat there silently not offering any form of defense at all. I know I was guilty of those things, but I did some good in my life -couldn't that at least equal out part of the harm I'd done?
Satan finished with a fury and said, "This man belongs in hell, he is guilty of all I have charged and there is not a person who can prove otherwise."When it was His turn, My Attorney first asked if He might approach the bench. The Judge allowed this over the strong objection of Satan, and beckoned Him to come forward. As He got up and started walking, I was able to see Him in His full splendor and majesty. I realized why He seemed so familiar; this was Jesus representing me, my Lord and my Savior.
He stopped at the bench and softly said to the Judge, "Hi, Dad," then He turned to address the court. "Satan was correct in saying this man sinned, I won't deny any of these allegations. And, yes, the wage of sin is death, and this man deserves to be punished." Jesus took a deep breath and turned to His Father with outstretched arms and proclaimed, "However, I died on the cross so this person might have eternal life and he accepted Me as his Savior, so he is Mine." My Lord continued with, "His name is written in the Book of Life and no one can snatch him from Me. Satan still does not understand yet. This man is not to be given justice, but rather mercy."
As Jesus sat down, He quietly paused, looked at His Father and said,"There is nothing else that needs to be done. I've done it all. "The Judge lifted His mighty hand and slammed the gavel down. The following words bellowed from His lips... "This man is free. The penalty for him was already paid in full. Case dismissed" As my Lord led me away, I could hear Satan ranting and raving, "I won't give up, I will win the next one." I asked Jesus as He gave me my instructions where to go next, "Have you ever lost a case?" Christ lovingly smiled and said, "Everyone that comes to Me and asked Me to represent them, received the same verdict as you, "PAID IN FULL."

met Z and D today. went to marina's carl's junior. we shared 2 meals because the portion was huge! after that we sat by the singapore river. the scenery was beautiful. D and I discussed about religion with Z. but well, as usual, same kinda response from her. God, pls speak to her. i'll be praying for that. after that, we went to this hawker place beside the esplanade, glutton's bay. ate fried oyster and bbq chicken wings. excellent! it was so sinful (fattening and oily) and so yummy. had a great night with them.every since my holidays started, i have had more time with my family. went for supper with my 2 brothers late in the night. accompanied my bro to PS, met my mother for XO fish bee hoon, brought bro to eat kfc hot wings, went shopping at imm with dad and bro.... i've been so busy during my school term, now it's a good break. i've done so many enjoyable things. went swimming, reading the newspapers, playing PS, watching dvd, playing badminton, meeting up with friends, meeting students, reading books, spending time with people!

the da vinci code
www.syfc.org.sg/events/dvc/send.htm CHECK THIS OUT! Funny!there has been alot of controversies in the Da Vinci Code. if one were to be intelligent enough to check out the so called 'facts' in the book, it has gotten all it's history all mixed up and all wrong. ask any historian, even a non christian one, trust me, he will say that the book is not historically correct.
the book gets some of its information from some sercret source which cannot be revealed. oh please! if i tell you that a secret source says that spongebob squarepants is actually not a cartoon, but that it is an animal that exist on earth, would you believe it? so lame! dan brown aint that intelligent, but scholars have read the Bible and they see truth in it. why would people believe what dan brown wrote in a STORYBOOK? obviously if you want to learn about Christianity, learn from the Bible, God's own words. why look at a fiction that dan brown wrote.
and about the gospel of judas, it has so many lines missing. and why would people believe in that 7 page story rather than believing in the 4 Gospels in the Bible? Fact or Fiction? no doubt about it. Jesus is God, he died for our sins and resurrected on the 3rd day. this is a FACT.
the Da Vinci Code VS the Bible...
Fiction VS Non-Fiction
36 million copies sold VS 2.5 BILLION copies sold
Translated into 44 languages VS Translated into 2233 languages and dialect
1st copy sold in 2003 VS 1st Gutenberg copy sold in 1456
Best selling book in 2003-2005 VS Best selling book in the history of mankind
Judge for yourself. Which one wins? Isn't it obvious?
